429 Heads

In rebuildable shape I would say around $200. I see them go for that on eBay all the time.

429 Heads

These heads are currently on my truck and work just fine. I would like to trade with someone for a set of "lower compression" 460 heads. I have the same problem another guy was talking about with the must use 93 octane gas, can't advance the timing, and so on. Which year(s) of 460 motors had the best heads for this swap?
